A New York special to the Salt Lake
Tribune says the editor of the CONNER
cial Bulletin travelled through the
Becker and Houston street Anarchist
wine and beer cellars yesterday to elicit
an intelligent opinion regarding the story
from Chicago about a general Socialist
uprising in 1889. The only disposition
was to laugh at it as the clever conco
tion of some Bohemian. Justus Schwab,
Herr Nest and other professional de.
structionists had no doubts that "this
Republican despotism would have to 90
under" at some future day. The ele-
ments of its disinteeration were sven
now at work. It would be a glorious
day for the human race when that work
was accomplished. If anybody thought
them such fools as to disclose plans,
much less fix the exact time for the
grand slaughter, they were mistaken.
We keep these things to ourselves, and
trust nothing to the capitalistic press.
We put down the Chicago revelation as
. weak invention of an enemy, to justify
the killing Of the friends of liberty now
under sentence Of death in that city.

SETTLING THE STATE.


The San Francisco Bulletin says it is a
fact u~ndisputed that nevers before since
the days of the "gold fever have so
many people in so short a period come to
this State TO stay as have come during
the past six months. The figures OF
travel Of the railroad companies, the
strangers seen on the streets of the
cities, increased business activity, the
rapid settlement of new communities, all
testify to this fact. The truth has been
emphasized from time to time by words
Of welcome and congratulation for a new
era of progress and prosperity for the
State. It 10 well to take q retrospect at
this time, and to summarize so far as
may be possible the notes Of immigration
for the period named. That a larger
number of prospective settlers will come
in the next six months is the confident
forecast of those who are in . position to
make such q prediction.
Probably no one during the last FIVE
years has watched immigration facts and
figures more closely than Secretary Street
of the Immigration Association. He
says that at q fair estimate $1,000 peo.
pie have come to California, to stay,
during the period from November Is to
April Is. He bases the estimate on the
railroad company's figures of travel,
from observation, and from comparison
with the corresponding period last year.
But as yet little account may be taken
Of the excursionists except as tourists
who have come to see a land so promis.
ing. But the estimate Of 5000 is based
almost solely on the reported weekly fig.
ures of actual immigration travel Of
heads Of families who have come to the
most western State to make homes.
This travel has averaged 500 q week,
and the computation results in a total
that is nearly the estimate made. Last
week there were 725 arrivals. Those
who have come by lines other than those
of the Southern Pacific or by steamer
easily make up the total figure. The
southern part Of the State alone claims
that settlers have come there at the rate
of 1900 q month since last October.
Besides all the railroad travel, it is
known that many persons have come
from adjoining territories in primitive
fashion, by "prairie ~schooners," with
families. household goods. dogs and cats
and domestic treasures, and of those no
account is taken.
The rooms Of the immigration Associ.
alton at the Bay are the centering point
for many prospective settlers, yet many
60 direct to the counties they may fancy
and prospect for themselves. The regis.
tration there during six months has been
$3.50.
Secretary Street says the settlement
has been promiscuous so far as the agri.
cultural counties are concerned.
The immigration has been chiefly from
the other States. Comparatively few
Europeans come so far. The blizzard
has been an active agent for California
immigration. Two colonies are about to
come from Dakota. An agent of SOC
English people is negotiating for SO, 1000
acres of land for general farming and a
colony of Danes are on the way.
